Ob, God of Battles! once again With banner, trump, ad drum, And garments in Tby wine-press dyed. To give Thee thanks, we come. No goats or bullocks, garlanded, Unto thine altars go; With brothers' blood, by brothers shed,. Our glad libations flow. From Pest-house and from dungeon foul,. Where, maimed and torn tbey die; From gory trench and charnel bouse, Where, heap on heap, they lie; In every groan that yields a soul, Each shriek.a heart that rends, With every breath ot" tainted air, Our homage, Lord, ascends. We thank Thee for the sabre's gash, The cannon's havoc wild ; We bless Thee for the widow's tears. The want that starves her child I We give Thee praise, that Thou bast lit The torch, and fanned the tlame, That lust and rapiue hunt their prey, ) Kind Father, in Tby name ! That, tor the songs of idle joy False argels sang of yore, Thou sendest War on Earth; ill will To men, loiever more I We know that wisdom, truth and right! To us and ours are given, That Thou bast clothed us with the wrath. To do the work of Heaven ; We know that plains and cities waste Are pleasant in Thine eves— Thou lov'st a hearthstone desolate, Thou lov'st a mounter's cries. Let not our weakness fall below The measure of Thy will, Ami wnile the press buth wine to bleed. Oh, tread it, with us, still I Tesch us to hate—as Jesus taught Fond fools, of yore, to love — Give us Tby vengeance as our own— Thy pity, hide above! Teach us to turn, with reeking bande. The pages of Thy word, And learn the blessed cuises there. On tb. m that sheathe the sword. Where'er We tread may deserts spiiog. Till none are left to slay, And when the last red drop is shed, We'll kneel again—and pray! 300,000 More. The following we adopt from ths Hancock (O.) Courier: The elections are over, and the President, to verify the assertions of Abolition politicians, that the war was about closed and that all that W3J necessary to finish the work was to elect Cur tin and no more draffs would ho necessary, hat issued his proclamation, dated just four days al ter the election, for only 300,000 inure men in addition to those already called under former j drafts; which, if not raised by voluntary en listments before the sth of .January next, will bz drafted. It is confidently expected that all those who voted for "Uurtin, and a vigorous prosecution of the war," will not hang back, imt at once wins forwards and volunteer, to make up Pennsylvania,s quota which will be only about 40,0DD tinder this call. Forward march, gentlemen ! No skulking, sneaking, or hanging back. The President lias performed his part of the contract, by putting the draft off till ufter the election, and even depicted tho armies by sending voters home to elect Curtin and lie now looks to you to perform your part. In calling upon "the good and loyal people to lend their cheerful, willing and effective aid to (lie measures and means adopted, with a \ iew to reinforce our victorious armies now in the field," he addresses himself especially to you, who have all along claimed, and do now claim to lie the only "good and loyal people" in the country. He calls upon you and expects your wih'iin/, cheerful and efectioe aid." What aid can you render so "effective" as to join the ranks of liic array? If you don't wish any longer to be considered the most Arrant hypocrites in the country, you will now volunteer. You have confined yourselves to lip and mouth service long enough, staying at home in comfort, call in" your neighbors, than whom you are no bet ter, "butternuts," "Copperheads'" and "trai tors," though )'OU do it "cheerfully and willing ly," is not rendering very "cffcctivo aid" to crush out the rebellion. And you Republican and Abolition fntbe.rs and mothers who consid er yourselves and families too good to associate with 'butternuts,' 'copperheads' aud 'traitors,' at home, will certainly not be willing that your sous shall be subjected to tbeir company and influence in the army ! —Trot out your healthy boys, then, and fill tip the quota by volunteering ; or stop your infernal slanders and denunciation j of the fathers of those who liave volunteered as "disloyal" and "traitors." i cg-TheTlianksgiving proclamation of Lin coln is a mosaic, evidently compose'! by some pulpit politician, and interpolated by the President. Its mendacity, in misrepresenting the effects of the war is doubtless the pul pit orator's own. It calls on us to thank God for the blessings of the war—thi3 J3 the prayer of Shoddy 1 Cap. Swipes on the Draft. MR. EDlTOß:—Things is in a muddle. Gov ernment's got demoralized and gone into the lot tery business like a gay old gamboiler. The government wheel's worse than roulette, for iu that you can see the ball spin round, and you stan' a chance of tloubhn' yours ; but in Capt. Stanton's wheel you gtnn' two chances of iosin' to none at winnin'. In fact, for a poor spec yulashun, it beets anything sens the dase of Joshua, and I'm down onto it. I've no partic le r objeckshun to a square game, where you git a site for your money, hut to back agin govern ment whether you want or not, with nary a chance at all except of lusin 3 hundred, aint exactly what I've been brut up to consider the hite of morality. To my mind government might be in better business. Besides its immoral pints, this government gamboilering is a onhealthy business. It sort o' pisons the atmusfure, and brings on all sorts of diseases. 'The folks around here yußed to be tolerably saloobrious. Now they ain't. Three years ago you couldn't tind a man in the (own that wasn't a magnus Apollo. Now they ain't none of that sort left, unless he's some poor cus which hain't got no frens and no 3 hundred lor notLin'.

Au' all in consekwins of gov ernment's goin' into the lottery petfesshun. You see tain't good for body or soul, it shouldn't ought to be coptiuered. What makes me spcesbully down onto the in stitushin, is that I'm won of its victims. The wheel has gone and done it, and 1, which hain't even plaid even up for the drinks, (part from principle and part from interest,) in mor'n a year, am beat out of three 100 hy a game in which they wouldn't even let me hold a hand. Yes, sir, they have grafted tue into the army, I believe that's what they call it, when they call on a feller for the soap, but which is only a peace of sarkasuin, for the army hain't notliin' particler to do with it as I can see. | When I was drafted I felt different about it. i I thought then that they wanted more soldiers. The administrashun papers sed so; they sed it was men the government wanted, not money: and when anybody proposed to rase 3 hundred for every grafted tuuii so't he could go or stay jest as he'd u mind to, they sed he was a cop perked and a rebuel sympathiser. When 1 got the paper with the names of the grafted men in our town, I found my own and jest 4 teen others that I trained with among the Wide-Awakes 3 years ago. For a moment I felt bad, and kind er tliot I'd go an' make Uncle Bill over in Can ad) a short visit, an' il' I liked the country take olf my close an' stay a few years. Then 1 thut tu myself I won't.

We're the men fur the crisis, and now that the backbone of the rcbelyun is broken, we'll make them big rebitels liy to the cat-hole. So I spoke to tny wife, and scz I: "Wife, I'm goin'.

I've got three weeks to get ready iu, and then I'in off fur the lust families aud intelligent contrabands." "Now, Ethan," sez she, "You don't say so! Why, what'll tne anil the children do?" "0," soz I, "you'll get on well unuf, I'll 'lot you 10 dollars a month of my pay, and the town board 'll see you don't suffer." | "Town grapny!" sez she, "do you s'pose I'm ! goin' to take help front the tow n? me which cum I from a good famerly; I'd as soon go to the County House to wons." "Well," sez 1, "ten dollars 'll keep ytiu and the babies in eatables, and you won't need many close, for thinkin' thut your husband is aservin' of his country, and a winnin* of distincakun will warm your bosom and no inistuke. lie sides I'll be promoted rite along, an' before the war is over I'll be a bold brigadier, and have two rows of brass buttons on to my cote, and a draw'd sword in my hand, and git 201) and lit ty a mouth for picking my teeth in front of a big hotel to illustrate the strength of the country.'" "Ethan," scz she, solemnly, "ef you must go I'll try an' boar it, but wun thing I vrant you to promise, and that is that you won't goto be in' a brigaaiur on no account. I know the pay's good, hut what's that compared to the associa shun. You've children growin'up; think how they'd feel.""

I kept still, but she continued rcpeatin' her last obeervashuu. At last scz she: "O, Ethan, them rebuels are so careless how they shoot. What would you do ef a Parrot projoctyle was to hit you?" "Do!" sez I, majestically, why, rcpetin' the immortal words of Patrick Ileury, "I still live," I'd wrap myself into the bar tangled spanner and die, conshurs that 1 had aided in tuukiu' some individual of the African persuashun happy 1" "Hut, Ethan," sez she, "what good would that do mo an' the babies?" l)-o-n-t g-o-o-ol'' aud off she went aguin.

"I don't care when you report," sed she, "I only want you to agree not to go till half them other fellers do, an' I'm satisfied." I agreed to it an' she began to laff rite off, sed the draff in a famerly wan't so bad as the measles, an' perpetrated various other wittycisms which, in view of my early departure seemed out of place as I reminded her. She professed not to see it, and her visual orgins was about correct as you will see in tny next —for this let ter's about as long as you'll care about at wun time. Your fellow goldyure, ETHAN SWIPES- How Republioan Voters are Made. A few days before the late election a gentle man who resides in this city received a letter from a friend living in New Jersey. Ths writer stated that a lawsuit would bring him to town in a few days, and he would esteem it a great favor if his friend allowed him to slay at his home. The writer was a pious gentleman, and urged as his reason for the request that city ho tels were places of known iniquity, and the godly could not enter them without contamina tion. The gentleman replied to the letter, and, assenting to the writer's request said he would be most happy to receive him. On the Satur day before the election the visitor came, and at the lea table led the religious services. At uight before retiring he did the same, and again on Sunday morning. He went with tho children to .Sunday school, and then attended church, andoD Sunday evening again performed the religious services of the house-, declaring that lie had never spent so quiet and happy a Sabbath. On Monday he renewed his devotions, and on Tuesday about noon, coming into the house he said his lawsuit had been postponed and his pres ence in the city was no longer neoded. Ho would therefore return home ; but as this life was short and he had a happy visit to his friend, he pro posed that they should again unite in prayers before parting. This was done, and amid mu tual regrets the friend left. A short time afterward two of the neighbors called at the house, and mentioning the pious gentleman's name, inquired if he lived there. Being told tliat he didnot, they said it was very strange. That house had been given by the man as his residence at the election poll when he voted for Curiin on the previous Tuesday, and two well known Republicans of the precinct had vouched under outh for its truth. The story was now out. The pious individual had come to Philadelphia to make one of Curtin's major ity here, and then, after invoking a blessing u pon it. had hastened back to hts Jersey home to teach his neighbors religion.— Philadelphia Age. Address of Hon. 0. L. Vallandigham to the Ohio Democracy. Democrats of Ohio: You have been beaten by what means it is idle now to inquire. It is enough that while tens of thousands of soldiers were sent or kept within your State, or held inactive in camp elsewhere to vote against you, the Confederate enemy were marching upon the capital of your country. You were lien ten; but a nobler battle for Constitutional liberty and free popular govern ment never was fought by any people. And your unconquerable firmness and courage, even in the midst of armed military force, secured you those first of freemen's rights—free speech and a free liallot. The conspiracy of the fifth of May fell before you. lie not discouraged i despair not of the Republic. Maintain your rights; stand firm to your position ; never yield up your principles or your organization. Listen not to any who would have you lower your standard in the hour of defeat. No mellowing of your opinions upon any question, even of policy, will avail anything to conciliate your political foes. They demanded nothing less than an absolute surrender of your principles and your organization. Moreover, if there be any hope for the Constitution or liberty, it is in the Democratic party alone ; and your fellow-citi zens, in a little while longer, will see it. Time and events will force it upon all, except those only who profit by the calamities of their coun try. I thank you, one and all, for your sympathies and your suffrages. Be assured that though in exile for no offence but my political opinions and the free expression of them to you ia a peace able public assembly, you will find me ever steadfast in those opinions, and trua to the Con stitution and the State and country of mybarth. C. L. VAIXAHDIGUAM. WINUSOB, C. W., Oct. 14. From the HOW IT WAS DONE. The official majority for Governor Curtin will be considerable leas than fifteen thousand, and from the admission of the Administration organs themselves, it is easily shown that major ity was ouly obtained by grossly unfair means. A day or two Istfore the election the New York Tribune predicted that the majority for Govern or Curtin would be a little over 15,000 "Being just about tbe number of returned soldiers, invalids, &e.. who will be on hand to give him (Curtin) a lift at the polls." Letters which we havepublished prove that these soldiers, allowed to conte home, were pledged to vote the Bepuhlicun ticket, and un doubtedly most of them did so.—But other re cruits were obtained. Tbe Washington C/tron itle said—and its statement was corroborated by the New York Tunes—that— "The friends of Curtin and the Union who have left this city and vicinity during the past week or two, for the purpose of voting the U nion ticket number over nine thousand, exclu sive of soldiers."

AN ECCENTRIC PHYSICIAN. A friend relates for the Agrieulturist, the fol lowing anecdote of a skillful physician, Dr. M. He had away of doing things all his own, and no one could tell beforehand, "where be would come out." On one occasion he was called to perform a very important surgical operation on a young man living in this country. Arriving there he found collected a large number of neigh boring farmers and others, who had ceme from curiosity to witness the operation. He observed that the house was scantily furnished, and other evidences of the poverty of the family were apparent, and he inquired whether the mother, a widow, was ready to pay the SSO which he should charge. She replied that she could not at present, but he would do nothing until the money was paid, and asked them if they could not make up the amount. This was soon done, but not without many condemnations of the hardhearted doctor who however, paid no atten tion to the remarks, but immediately went on with his work which he performed successfully.

They trample the Constitution and laws un der their feet, and resort to despotic powers. trlf we had a choice between n wife with ten thousand pounds and a bad temper, and one with a sixpence aud sweet, good temper, we should take the latter at onoe, or we are a big ger fool than we suspect ourselves of being. We deliberately believe, then, ten thousand pounds lire times told, could not be made te procure as much happiness as a sweet tempered wife could yield. And much as men love money, the greater and best part of them will judge as we do. So, girls, cultivate a sweet temper as the best dowry you can bring u husband.
